With a mission to empower kids to lead safe and fulfilling lives, Little Iguana covers over 20 topics, including online safety, stranger danger, and personal hygiene. Erika emphasizes the importance of open communication between parents and children, encouraging families to discuss feelings and safety regularly, regardless of their child's age.
